This guy isnt a true PG at ALL. He's turnover prone, dribbles high, and not good under pressure D.
This team STILL desperately needs a ballhandler/distributor.
Dude feels slighted. I like that intensity. Feeling crushed can make wonders. We got 2014 to prove it. I like the hunger.
SA fans have to be really happy they got Murray. I know many have him pegged around 29th pick so they don't consider it a value, but there was more than enough people that had him pegged higher.
He may never amount to anything, but I'm happy they went with a guard that they plan to have stick around and develop. That alone makes it happy. Coming to SA and having Pop along with this chip on his shoulder means if he can't succeed here he would not have anywhere.
Like I said, I wish SA would have gotten more draft picks and taken some fliers but not a big deal.
I wish they would have picked up some more foreign prospects. They're about to lose two of their top three. Need to refill the pipeline a little. Maybe they convince Cady to go over there for a couple of years.
You act like players don't develop.
I don't get the need or idea of developing in Europe. The percentage is higher for failure or never coming over. It's a different style over there.
it would be better to leave Cady in the NBDL rather than send him to Europe.
I don't see it. Crawford's biggest asset is his long-range jumper -- it's DM's biggest weakness.
On the other hand, the "beautiful game" may not require a true point guard.
spurs "pipeline" of euros has always been overrated, anyway.
when was the last time somebody we had stashed in overseas made an impact outside of splitter? manu?
i'm all for signing players from abroad... like we did with baynes, boban, but the draft and stash routine has been underwhelming
Draft and stashing a player is terrible, 80-90% of the time you never hear of them again. Might as well trade the pick for a current player.
Scola.
Anyway, the pipeline is there so that you can play the lotto. I don't believe in stashing guy that you already think will be good players. But I totally believe in having some raw players with potential left over there for a few years. Like Dangubic and Hanga make sense as stashes, while LJC really didn't. I'd much rather the team use low-second-rounders on those guys than for them to just not do so.
yeah he worked out terrifically
that's what we did with splitter though, one of the few successes
Splitter was a draft n stash, he eventually worked out. But I'd agree, most of their international picks were duds.
It was a great pick, even if they ed it up.
But his friend MANU worked out even better though
Splitter stayed over because his sister had just died. That probably worked for the Spurs as well, but it wasn't like LJC. I'm just saying that I don't mind the team taking flyers on young guys in Europe. Most will bust but some like Tomic, Lauvergne and Bjelica work out. And having those guys' rights is really cool, even if it's just to trade later on.
we drafted splitter in 07 and he didn't join the team until 2010, did his sister's death span 3 years?
He stayed over because of buyouts.
Yes (cancer's a like that). He reupped to a new deal in Spain because of it.

I will say that it's disingenuous of me to claim that was the only reason. But it really doesn't seem like it was a normal draft-and-stash plan. Dunno how long she was ailing, but it definitely affected him coming over in 2008 or 2009One under-reported aspect of Tiago Splitter’s decision to resign with Tau Ceramica was the care of his sister. Tiago Splitter lives in Spain with his family and Mic e had received medical treatment there. Along with all the other variables of his free agent decision, the advantage of maintaining a stable home life in light of Mic e’s health must have been attractive to the Brazilian center.
